Skincare is always evolving- New formulas, textures, trend ingredients and even though SPF has been teamed with daily moisturiser for a number of years, the rise of higher SPF in our moisture products are on the rise, and rightly so!
SPF shouldn’t just be thought about when at the beach or playing sport as our daily lives consist of incidental sun exposure… Driving the car, gardening, walking the city streets can all cause sun damage and build up over time could form skin cancer.
Better to be safe than sorry and prep our skin with SPF daily protection, so you’re never caught off guard, plus with 90% of ageing caused by the sun, it’s a smart move to keep a more youthful appearance.
